Ireland International Football Results

The Irish national soccer
team originally known as the 'Irish Free State' until 1936. Thereafter
the team was known as 'Ireland' however this was causing confusion with
the Longer established IFA's representative team, Northern Ireland.

For a period both the FAI
and the IFA laid claim to the Irish national team and both selected players
from the entire island of Ireland. To put an end to this confusion FIFA
determined that the team representing the twenty-six counties would from
1953 onward would be known as the 'Republic of Ireland'.

For the purpose of convenience
in our lists of results of the national soccer team, linked below, are
referred to as 'Ireland'.
